Using FrontPage & Access 2000 to Develop Online Data Forms 

Introduction of PWS 4 

Sources of PWS 

A Personal Web Server (PWS) is a Web server you can install on your local computer, most 

likely your desktop. This allows you to publish your Web site onto your own computer and 

test all your pages before you publish your Website and pages onto a remote server.   We 

chose PWS 4.0 for this workshop because it is available to all Windows users and it is ASP 

ready. 

You may load PWS onto the Windows 98 platform in two ways.  One way is to insert 

Windows98 CD ROM and click Windows

Start

button. 

Select

Run

.  

In the Open box, type d:\add ons\pws\setup.exe 

(assuming D is your CD ROM drive).  

Use the graphical steps in the next section below to guide 

your installation process. 

Another way is to go to 

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ntoptionpack/askwiz.asp

and download MS NT 4 Option Pack (PWS 4 for Windows 95/98 is bundled with NT 4 

Option Pack). We recommend downloading the file and installing it instead of having 

Microsoft to install the program for you. After you have downloaded the NT 4 Option Pack, 

installation of PWS is a simple matter provided your IE browser is 4.01 or later.
